It’s lonely at the top.
Running a business – or owning one – comes with complexity, responsibility, and decisions that few around you truly understand. That’s where I come in.
I act as your Professional Best Friend – an eclectic mix of strategic advisory, coaching, and mentoring – someone to bring clarity, perspective and accountability without an agenda.
Whether you’re scaling, stepping into a new leadership role, or preparing for an exit, I walk beside you as a non-conflicted sounding board focused on your success.
Together, we clarify vision, strengthen your leadership, and prepare for value-creating transitions – always grounded in what matters most to you.




Growth
Growth isn’t just about scale – it’s about building the right business for your life, and investing where appropriate to break through the ‘brick walls’ you can see in the stages model below.
Together, we’ll articulate what “great” looks like for you, identify the big rocks that’ll drive your success, and align your structure and strategy with your long-term goals. I’ll help you sharpen your plan, stay on track, and find the right people when needed;
The commitment to action is yours.

Exit
This is where we maximise value from all that hard work. When it comes time to sell – whether partially or entirely – the goal isn’t just to exit, but to exit well.
That may involve identifying the right strategic partner, navigating a family succession, or implementing an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP). I help make the process intentional, structured, and values-led, tailored to your unique life situation.
Often, this involves bringing in exit specialists early, cleaning up the books, and working through a 12-month cycle under a revised structure to optimise your valuation, strengthen your earn-out terms, and increase the eventual sale price.
My role is to guide the strategy, assemble the right team, and help ensure you maximise the return on everything you’ve built.
Are you building a business that supports your life,
or one that’s quietly consuming it?
If someone took over tomorrow,
would they have what they need to lead?
Would you feel ready to let them?
